Hi, Gary, There doesn't seem to be a subject in either one. In casual conversation it's assumed to be "I". "look forward to" takes the "-ing" form, so it's: "(I) look forward to working with you".

"look forward to" takes the "-ing" form, so it's: "(I) look forward to working with you".

I think look forward cannot follow by infintive, so the question #1 is wrong.

Thank you CJ.

but I want to know, why can't I say

I'll look forward to work with you

could you please explain the grammar term to make me understand?

thanks,

Gary
